I'm not going to explain any of the thought behind it yet, just want your answer on what you want to lose first. I'll post a new poll without the loser until only One Remains.
(note: eliminate means that humans don't include them in our diets, not that we suddenly pluck it from existence)
And do the sharing thing please. This isn't scientific or anything close to it, just my own curiosity, but still, I want to know what we keep the longest, bc I have a guess.

Supervillains for a community. (Well, except those jerks over in Gotham, insular lot, but they’re they’re one problem) Of course they do- supervillains are a group defined by strong opinions and a willingness to see them through, often with a healthy dash of societal failures and trauma as a catalyst.
The fentons, while not active even on the online message boards, are well known and explosive when they do show up, full of fascinating insights and hours long rants on mad science on hair pin turns courtesy of that ADHD attention span. Bit of the cryptids you feel honored to bump into kind of deal. Besides, like a good quarter of the community as it aged, they’d settled down and had kids (not necessarily in that order) and taken it very seriously! Out in the middle of nowhere, where even the most fearsome government outpost members, the local branch of the IRS, quake before them in fear. Out of the way.
Reveal gone okay-ish, Danny moves to Gotham still to get some air bc now things are Akward and he landed that engineering scholarship which is loads better than any other college would give him with his track record. So- the mysterious Fenton children are finally crawling out of hiding! Everyone is psyched! And roll in to Gotham en masse to witness the fireworks!
Except Danny is Determined To Be Normal. He’s had enough of the throwing himself into harms way shit for a lifetime- he wants to be free to peacefully built Rube Goldberg machines and unintentional increasingly complex bombs to his hearts content. JAZZ, on the other hand- the coveted token Normal One, has finally snapped! She’s watched her baby brother she practically raised throw himself into danger over and over and could do nothing, and now that she’s exposed to this whole network of superheroes outside of small town Amnity, some of those uglier emotions are coming out. And boy is she pissed! And can’t afford to show it much while filing the paperwork to have Arkham legally razed to the ground!
See I love this idea of like, niches in superhero society. A villain the heroes know they can plop their kiddo down with for an exciting afternoon brawl while they take care of a particularly grisly case and come back to a few hours later ranting about some new life lesson and a new move they really want to try. A villain who has a functioning moral compass despite their somewhat batshit long term goal and you can contact to fuck with another villains’s plan so they can laugh at them and you can have an easy afternoon. One who pries up hostile architecture and fills in pot holes, idk man. Get creative here, there’s such potential!
So Jazz becomes a Training villain- someone the heroes know their sidekicks will walk away from in a fight 100% of the time, usually with some new lesson to ponder and only a couple of bruises. Sometimes even snacks!
She also absolutely ambushes mentors to check that they’re worth the kiddo, which they appreciate once they get over being jumped in a dark alley by a 7 foot Amazon trained force of nature. They are not used to being on that side of the jumping, it’s a little unnerving.
(Yes, she low key adopts Shazam upon checking in with him on cursory ‘is the main hero of this city and asshole’ checkin. Yes, the super clones get yoinked out from under Superman’s negligent thumb to go have a blast with Ellie. What about it?)
This however only encourages more assorted weirdos to crawl out of the woodwork. It’s not often one of their own forfeits their potential spot for the running of the coveted Most Normal I Swear prize, but when they do it’s bound to be good! But jazz is off hounding various heroes and punching the faces in of pedophiles and shit whenever there’s no cape within easy reach, and so is a mite bit harder to contact than Danny, who has innocently gotten an apprenticeship under a clockworker for access to their workshop and is gleefully going about doing nerdy shit with great abandon.
Plus this is Gotham. No one gives a shit if someone in the Mad Alchemist uniform and still smoking from their latest experiment pokes their head in a window to bother the local shrimp teen- none of the usual social rules apply, everyone’s crazy here! So everyone drops any and all attempts at masking and just acts their genuine unhinged selves, much to the alarm of the Bats and frustration of Danny.
Bc he cannot get these mfers to go. Away. Even liberal use of the creep stick has little effect when the interloper is calibrated for an opponent with super speed or laser vision or whatever, and he’s trying to maintain his guise as a Normal College Student Do No Investigate.
So he calls in the big guns. He’s not super active in the supervillain kids group chat ever since things in amnity calmed the fuck down post becoming King and then immediately using a loophole that says he will not take the throne until he is grown, as defined by finishing learning his trade a la the medieval standards Pariah set up. So he can just take his sweet ass time with his graduate degree and out of inter dimensional bull shit that much longer! Point is, he hasn’t taken the chance to rant over there in a while, so his Crazy friends are getting a lil worried.
The change to come over and shout at their batshit crazy but (mostly) well meaning parent AND see Danny? Score!
The bats, however, are getting awfully suspicious about this one kid that villains from all over the country are flocking to, especially young and upcoming ones as of recently! And he’s acting his engineering course- all the worst rogues are known to have flown through their PhD studies prior to Cracking. They seem to have a real problem on their hands with this Fenton guy.

concerning Alastor's stitches here...has anyone considered that his smile may not be the weapon he tells Charlie it is, but instead a punishment? or even a clause in his contract?
although Viv said this about Alastor's smile a few years ago, we have no idea how fleshed out the story was at that point 👀 whoever Alastor is under the thumb of (my guess, like most people's, is Lilith)...perhaps they forced Alastor to wear a permanent smile as a show of being owned, and those stitches are very much holding his smile in place: forcing him to be someone who looks perpetually happy to be in servitude.
and wouldn't that make sense? we've seen that Alastor is clearly very paranoid, and hypervigilant regarding the fact that his soul is owned...i wonder if Alastor told Charlie a smile is a weapon because he's forced to wear his servitude on his face, and it's the only way he's been able to retain any sense of selfhood and dignity 💔
extrapolating from this theory...i wonder how long those stitches can hold? is it possible that Alastor ran away from the angels not because he feared death...but because he feared his smile breaking? and do you think a similar situation may have led to his disappearance years before? 👀

Nutella's statement: "Nutella made by Ferrero, an Italian multinational, in the world's second-largest chocolate and confectionery manufacturer which has a main office in the greater Tel Aviv area in Israel. Ferrero has entered into a joint development agreement with the Israeli sugar company Sugar Incredo to innovate solutions based on Incredo techology that belongs to the Israeli-based startup Douxmatok. Indredo's technology aims to make sugar taste sweeter, and it is working with Ferrero to launch future products. It should be note that Ferrero does not invest directly in Encredo, but through an investment channel, Teseo Capital."
On top of boycotting (because FU Nutella), I also wanted to share alternatives with folks because Nutella hasn't been fully transparent about their ingredients ratio. I know a lot of companies do this, especially one's that are popular in the US that often go under the radar because of a lack of FDA regulations, but the more you know.
Since I know many of us have comfort foods -this is NOT a food shaming post -this is just a hey in case you didn't know and also if a company wants to do business in and with Israeli settlers and colonizers -they also have blood on their hands and well, here it is:
Here are also some alternatives (there is only one that is budget friendly on this list -I will try to find some more! Any other recommendations, please let me know!). These are just for the folks who want to try something else chocolate-based to replace their Nutella. I can personally attest to Nutiva's spread -you have to spread it quite a bit before you use it to mix it, but one it's done it's lovely and it doesn't need much stirring because it can stay room temperature.
There are also a ton of other alternatives, generally speaking, for spreads on your breads (I found this one cool because it gives you a base ingredient with multiple topping options [and eat what you want -these are just some inspirational ideas for toppings for toast/bread spreads):
